Global Employment Trends for Youth 2026: Back to the future
ILO
2026.11.09
This report harnesses evidence, both quantitative and qualitative, to show an increasing complexity in
the labour market and in the labour market transitions of young people. It discusses the current labour
market trends, focusing on the global and regional outlook of youth unemployment, inactivity (NEET) and
employment, including the quality of work (in Chapter 1). Chapter 2 seeks to address the causality of the
current less-than-positive labour market outcomes for young people. It examines the macroeconomic
setting, the reality of rising global conflicts, the looming presence of AI and the issue of “job experience
inflation” as factors behind the challenges of job entry. Chapter 3 looks at the policy framework for youth
employment with an eye on how the scope of such policies can be adapted to support young people
through their increasingly turbulent labour market transitions and set them on reaffirmed pathways
towards decent work.
